A tag has been placed on Ole Piss, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

- I personally do not believe the creation of this redirect because of the 2019 Egg Bowl incident is nonsense that doesn't merit a redirect. If you think otherwise, please provide an explanation. Kart2401real (talk) 00:42, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
- The incident, according to The Athletic, had a major effect on both teams in the game: "The Egg Bowl Butterfly Effect: How two firings altered almost 300 coaching careers". Ylee (talk) 01:04, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Saturn
[edit]Hello. I noticed that you recently removed the entire planetary rings section from the Saturn article on the grounds that the information is covered in the article Rings of Saturn. While this may be true, it is usually customary to include at least a paragraph or two with some basic information in the main article, if the reader desires more information then he or she may read the more in depth main article. For a good example of this see Mars#Geology and Geology of Mars. IN addition, after comparing the deleted information with the Rings of Saturn article, I noticed that there was quite a bit of information in the deleted text (especially some historical information) that does not appear in Rings of Saturn. I am asking if you would please either restore the text you removed or instead add the deleted information to the main Rings of Saturn article so that the knowledge is contained somewhere within Wikipedia and then expand Saturn#Planetary rings to include at the very least some basic information. Thank you. --Nebular110 02:30, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for doing that. I agree with you that the section is longer than it really needs to be. I'll try to fix that, maybe by transfering some of the info to the Rings of Saturn article. I'm not sure how soon I'll find the time to do that, lots going on right now, but I will put it on my to do list. --Nebular110 05:37, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Request for a vote
[edit]Hi there,
I'm writing because I saw you made some (intelligent, sagacious, wise, brilliant, geniustic, glorious) contributions to the John Podhoretz and Jonah Goldberg articles, so you might have an interest in this: There's a move to remove the "American conservatives" category, and a vote is going on now which may result in its deletion. The vote is tied at this moment. I'm hoping you'll visit there, make up your own ((intelligent, sagacious, wise, brilliant, geniustic, glorious) mind (and I hope you agree with me to keep it, but of course it's up to you [you fine human being, you]).Noroton 23:48, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:The_animated_Supergirl.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:The_animated_Supergirl.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk 03:45, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Better source request for Image:The_animated_Supergirl.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:The_animated_Supergirl.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talkpage. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk 15:21, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Sorry if it seems like I'm bugging you about the above image - I'm trying to determine the copyright holder, which needs to be specified on the image page per WP:NFCC#10a. When I click on the source link, I get an "access forbidden" message. Can you please specify the copyright holder on the page? Videmus Omnia Talk 16:09, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks - the only other thing required, so far as I can tell, is evidence that the copyright holder published this image, to satisfy WP:NFCC#4. As the source link can't be accessed, and toymania.com is apparently not the copyright holder, where was the image published? Thanks... Videmus Omnia Talk 16:18, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- The image is accessible at the URL I published. Connectivity is sometimes intermittent, apparently; I too once saw an "access forbidden" message today. However, it is available as of 30 seconds ago.Ylee 16:28, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- OK, will keep trying, but I'm having no luck. When you looked at it, what did it say regarding publication? Did it specify the comic book in which this image was published? That's really all we need re WP:NFCC#4. Videmus Omnia Talk 16:30, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- FYI, the message I get is Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /news/images/0402_supergirl.jpg on this server.. Videmus Omnia Talk 16:32, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, no mention of what comic book or TV episode the image is from. I believe it is actually a promo image.
- Gah, that's not good. We need some verifiable evidence of prior publication by DC Comics. Do you have another image (with a more verifiable status) that can be used? Videmus Omnia Talk 16:38, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Matt Cassel and the franchise tag
[edit]One somewhat important point about the tag: Cassel is not absolutely guaranteed to earn $14.65 million. Cassel could sign a long-term deal, with the Patriots or another team, for any amount. He is only guaranteed that amount if he plays for the Patriots under the franchise tender. Samer (talk) 02:08, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Stop changing my paragraph on Caltech
[edit]Hi Ylee, why do you keep on changing my paragraph on Caltech? Wikipedia is supposed to be an universal effort and I don't see why you should keep on editing it. I understand you want to keep the Popular Science section short, but the moon landings, especially with Caltech professor and alum involved, is highly relevant and should contain enough description. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tigerjean888 (talk • contribs) 00:47, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
[edit]SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 17:30, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
WP:PROD
[edit]Please read WP:PROD. Reimplementing a PROD indiscriminately can be considered abuse of process. You should understand how prod works, before making claims about the process. 76.66.202.139 (talk) 13:06, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
- I read it after seeing your unexplained blanking/redirect and have read it again. Your action still doesn't make any sense as it does not fit into any of the criteria listed under "Before deletion." It fits best under the "blanking the entire article" vandalism under "Contested deletions," which is why I restored the PROD tag. YLee (talk) 13:29, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
- If you read the PROD rationale given, it was duplication of information found elsewhere, which would be WP:CFORK, and thus should be redirected or deleted, since it's a valid search term, redirecting is proper. Redirecting is not blanking, since the redirect target should still contain the information. (If it doesn't then it would be vandalism, but in this case, the target does contain the info). WP:BOLDly redirecting is something that qualifies as fixing the article. 76.66.202.139 (talk) 13:53, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
FYI, if you think an article should be deleted after it was deprodded, please create a WP:AFD nomination for it. 76.66.202.139 (talk) 13:17, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Rollback
[edit]I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. –Juliancolton | Talk 01:39, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Are you affiliated with Caltech
[edit]Hello, YLee. Are you an employee, student, faculty, or otherwise affiliated with Caltech, JPL, or a member of the Caltech or JPL communities? I ask because I notice you are putting a lot of effort into the Caltech article. In fact, you surely remember reverting my recent contributions which you described as "good faith." In reviewing the history of the article, the article talk page, your own personal talk page (this page), and the history of your talk page, it appears that you have maintained certain aspects of the article as you deem fit. Soon, we will discuss Wikipedia's editorial policies. First, the most important question I have you regards your point of view. Personally, I attended Caltech and never graduated. I believe this qualifies me still as a member of the community. With that in mind, and in the certainty that many readers of Wikipedia are members of the Caltech community -- what is your connection, if any, with Caltech? Heathhunnicutt (talk) 16:58, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
- My affiliation (or not) with Caltech is irrelevant to my edits. I am happy to discuss the edit in question with you, at the Talk page. YLee (talk) 18:48, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
- Your affiliation is relevant because you have a pattern of edits which indicate the possibility of a non-neutral point of view. WP:NPOV is a policy of Wikipedia and your bias is a matter of valid concern here. You have made a number of edit reversions which, on the surface, do not adhere to Wikipedia guidelines. I am interested in first discussing your evident POV bias and not limiting the discussion to your one edit which triggered my curiosity. I have been looking through your contribution history and the history of the Caltech article, and I see that you have made a number of edits which I intend to call into question. I therefore reject your move to narrow the scope of my inquiry away from your possible point-of-view bias. I'll give you another chance to reveal your Institute affiliation. Keep in mind that Wikipedia admins will have not trouble shedding light on the question. If you are bound by the Caltech Honor Code and choose not to reveal your affiliation, it would seem that you may be in violation of the Honor Code also. Cooperation with the policies of Wikipedia is not unfair participation even if you make mistakes, but any campaign maintained through concealing your affiliation would seem unfair to me. What, if any, is your Institute affiliation? Heathhunnicutt (talk) 02:14, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Springfield
[edit]I don't like any mention of a boobs zip code, and as the latest ip that was just reverted shows, it could use 6 for a lowercase b. Plus, sourcing it to the episode is inaccurate and WP:OR as Moe says it spells boobs, not saying which of the at least 3 it could be. CTJF83 chat 21:23, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- True. I am not thrilled about having "BOOBS" in the article, either, but I'm not sure we can completely ignore it, either, as per the Talk discussion. YLee (talk) 21:24, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- Do you see why I'm saying OR? I think it is just a throw away joke, that can be ignored, actually, along with the other zip code mentioned, as that was just a brief 2 second mention. Unlike the area codes, which are the subject of an entire episode. CTJF83 chat 21:28, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- I don't consider citing dialogue or on-screen elements as OR. That said, I'm fine with removing the zip codes completely, as per the consensus to omit mention of contradictory location info. YLee (talk) 21:32, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, we can remove them all together then. I only say OR as cause he said it spells boobs, but not how. CTJF83 chat 21:33, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- I don't consider citing dialogue or on-screen elements as OR. That said, I'm fine with removing the zip codes completely, as per the consensus to omit mention of contradictory location info. YLee (talk) 21:32, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

- No it can only be two permutations for real cities, unless Springfield has a fictional Zip Code. 58008 and 60065 are the only two which match actual US cities. The later is a suburb of Chicago and is certainly the closest yet to a real Springfield.--Closettrekker (talk) 07:29, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
- No, it is no closer than any other clue to a "real" Springfield that we've seen in the show's 21 seasons. (In other words, just as meaningless.) And of course the zip code could be fictional; that goes without saying. YLee (talk) 08:09, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
John Wayne & Kruschev's visit
[edit]I found this, which indicates 1958. Do you have a more reliable source? Not being contentious; at this point I'm honestly curious. Mark Shaw (talk) 02:20, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
- Sure:
- I believe the reason the news articles on the Wayne-Khruschev meeting say 1958 is because a 2005 Wayne biography gives the wrong year. The book cites the meeting as occuring during the Hollywood dinner for Khruschev hosted by 20th Century Fox head Spyros Skouras that the Time article mentions. The 1959 visit was Khruschev's first (and, I believe, only) visit to the United States, and the first by any Soviet leader, which is why it got so much publicity. YLee (talk) 02:57, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

Isner Match
[edit]Ylee ...
I made changes to this article and you insist on removing them. I thought Wikipedia was meant to be based on fact and not on the missreporting of the worlds press.
The changes I made are factually correct. IBM has nothing to do with the Refs scoreboard that failed at 47-47 ... this syetem is the refs system.
Specifically this statement is incorrect.
"IBM programmers said it was only programmed to go to 47–47 but would be fixed by the next day"
Similarly IBM programmers did not work until 11:45etc ...
I would appreciate you re-applying my changes as we are all interested in ensuring this historical event is recorded accurately. What gives you the right to decide what is fact or not? I would appreciate your assistance.

- Wikipedia requires "verifiability, not truth". I know that sounds strange, but it's for Wikipedia's own protection. This means that only things that can be reliably sourced to a newspaper, a book, or something similar, can appear in articles; otherwise anyone could add anything by claiming that (despite all the reliable sources that say otherwise) Hurricane Katrina hit Miami, not New Orleans, in 2005, and that he knows this because he was in Miami. What you need to do is to find a reliable source that supports your claim, and then we can proceed from there. Until then, sorry, we need to stick with The New York Times. YLee (talk) 23:39, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
- Just for a record - Andy's information are accurate and NYT are not. Not the first time journalist missreported. At least there will be truth on talk page :) Gabrysb (talk) 22:35, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Also - a question, if I can, and if you know an answer. How can one "realiably source" that a newspaper was wrong? I suppose that in situation like this it would be better to remove content that is inaccurate, I think Wikipedia was not designed to mirror newspaper archives... What's also important - Andy did not add new information (for which he could not give realiable source). Gabrysb (talk) 22:45, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- The only thing I can suggest is for you and Andy to bring this issue up on the Talk page for the article. Explain that Andy works on wimbledon.org (and/or whatever your own connection to the match is), and that the New York Times article isn't correct. While the requirement for a reliable source that supports what you and Andy say can't be avoided, perhaps others can help you find such a source. (Also, since Andy works at wimbledon.org, perhaps he can have that Website publish an article explaining the correct details of the various scoreboards and their failures?) YLee (talk) 03:40, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
- This is a classic example of why Wikipedia should not be used as a reliable source of information. It can not be trusted. The red tape in getting the facts recorded will prevent the truth being told. Just because a news paper prints something, that does not make it fact. In most cases the reporters have collected the details of their story with little solid evidence to back them up. Given I was in the room with the people running the wimbledon.org scoreboard, I could not be a more informed source. I am not disputing most of what's been written, I am just trying to correct a few facts to support this record. For information, almost all reporting of this subject was incorrect, leaning towards creating colourful stories ... so where do people find out the facts? I feel its pointless me pursuing this ... this is just one more case of Wikipedia not working. Please be proud that your moderation has ensured this information is not accurate. A disappointed Andy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Auk20 (talk • contribs) 09:58, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
- And FYI - I was the one who wrote "hotfix"... but I suppose I cannot be a source. Gabrysb (talk) 12:47, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Capricorn One
[edit]Hi, Ylee. We have some disagreement about Capricorn One. I spelled out my case here and would value your response. SnappingTurtle (talk) 17:42, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Animal House Plot
[edit]The plot description you reverted was not entirely bad. Yes, the guy couldn't spell and had serious phraseology issues, but several of the points you omitted leaves the plot details a little thin. The popping zit is particularly bland in its revised state. Referring to name characters "Professor Jennings" is preferable to "a professor." Mentioning that he is played by Donald Sutherland is appropriate, just as the mention of Belushi earlier would be. Referring to Otto as "the Delta" just lays there. In short, there is some value to these edits. This could be improved upon, not just reverted and disappeared. Trackinfo (talk) 05:15, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
- Sutherland's role was basically a cameo and the plot summary does not mention Professor Jennings elsewhere, so "a professor" is preferable. "The Delta" is an alternative to repeating Otter's name again in the sentence, since "him" or "he" doesn't work due to the ambiguity. I have no objections to inserting actors' names (I don't think it's a MOS issue but could be wrong) but it should be consistent; either all major actors' names should appear or none.
- The zit issue is slightly different. Wikipedia's house style requires a clinical approach to writing for it that is as stripped bare as possible while still accurate and complete. The humor within the subject matter here makes it all the more important that the tone be retained and any deviance be either marked as such (such as the notable quotes, integrated into the text but clearly marked as such) or otherwise separated out (footnotes, for example). Can Bluto firing mashed potatoes into Marmalard be succinctly described while adhering to the tone? Perhaps. Is the incident important enough to do so in the plot summary? Or, in other words, is it as important as the resulting food fight? I don't think so. YLee (talk) 05:45, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
2001
[edit]You are formally correct that "strange goings-on" is not really good tone for a WP article re 2001. However, it is a direct quote from the dialogue of the film. An alternative clean-up would have been to put it in quotes indicating as such. However, I am satisfied with the way it stands.--WickerGuy (talk) 23:27, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
- Just rechecked the film; the phrase does not occur in the scene. YLee (talk) 23:32, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
I confused the film dialogue "mystery of what has been going on" with "strange goings-on". Close but a couple notches off the bulls-eye. Thanks for checking.--WickerGuy (talk) 18:27, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
Ordway article
[edit]The Ordway article might be very useful for adding positive material on the "Scientific Accuracy" section of the "Space Odyssey" article over which there is now a tag expressing concern that it gives undue weight to the inaccuracies.--WickerGuy (talk) 21:39, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
WWI aviation
[edit]I was a bit mystified, to be honest! I think a "see also" at the bottom of the articles in question would have been fine (in fact put one in if you like!) but in making internal links you do need to keep the purpose of these things in mind. If the connection gets oblique and obscure it rather defeats the object of making things clearer and easier to understand! If it's too general it is little immediate help for someone who wants specific clarification. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 23:10, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
B-school
[edit]About your edit, since "business school" is spelled out in the preceding phrase, I believe it is appropriate to abbreviate the verbiage in this case. Spelling it out is redundant and makes the dab very lengthy. Also b-school is a common abbreviation. Will you reconsider? —Eustress talk 17:35, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- No. It's slang, just like "j-school" would be in an article about a university's journalism school, or calling Harvard "H-bomb". You are right that repeating "school" three times in the hatnote is not ideal, but resorting to slang is not the way to avoid the awkwardness. YLee (talk) 21:02, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- I like your compromise. It's even more clear and accurate now. Thanks! —Eustress talk 21:25, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
Education in The Simpsons
[edit]In response to this comment, you could try asking an admin (ie. Theleftorium) to add a copy of the page to your user space, then you can get whatever you need from there. -- Scorpion0422 01:55, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- It's not so much getting content from the article that I'm interested in but the article itself. Like politics, religion, and the media, education seems to me to justify a separate article beyond just Springfield and Springfield Elementary School. YLee (talk) 02:01, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- Well, that was my thought when I created the page. But, it ended up just being a big list of schools and character alma mater, and it didn't seem like there was a lot of meaningful content that could be added. -- Scorpion0422 02:19, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Misclick?
[edit]Was this a misclick? The content has been cut and pasted to the merge target's talk page. –xenotalk 15:33, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

- Wandering mouse =] No problem. –xenotalk 15:45, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, Sorry
[edit]Wow, that was quick! (RE: Lloyd Carr and 2006) I decided to go back and move that to the 2006 BCS page, but it was already gone. Figured that people who were reading the Lloyd Carr page probably are well aware of the issue. Yes, Florida and Florida State aren't in the same conference - I didn't realize my contradiction at the time. They are in the same _region_ though, that's what I was trying to say. We're all good, thanks! Ypsidan (talk) 16:09, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Catfish plot changes
[edit]You reverted my plot changes to said movie article, due to "colloquialisms". I thought I kept it pretty neutral, but whatever. Mind you, I was actually trying to add what was missing in the plot section AND added a "Controversy" section. Your reversion took out a huge chunk of actual content on the article, so I encourage you to change my wording if you think is not up to snuff, which might be the case, but don't take the content out because it belongs there. Thank you. 200.115.236.94 (talk) 07:01, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Mangle?
[edit]Hi - I'm not seeing where my edit of the hidden notes in Elizabeth Taylor mangled the text - could you point me to it? Obviously, I didn't intend that - but do want to fix the notes that are there and add short one where they're missing so we can avoid the back and forth regarding the upper case U. Thanks Tvoz/talk 15:43, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
- Take another look at your edit; it completely removed some text, making a part of the summary nonsensical. Ylee (talk) 17:30, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
- Ah, I see what happened is that a hyphen dropped off of the arrow at the end of the hidden note, which screwed up the text. Fixed it now - thanks. Tvoz/talk 19:44, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Would it be too much trouble to provide the page number from your source for the "panties" citation from Tedrow?

Please fix your refs on Postum, they are currently broken. Also, I don't think it's good form to remove stuff when you add stuff. I don't mind the additions, but I think I will merge your changes with what was there before. (It's perfectly possible for the company to claim it's like coffee in one ad, and that's it's not like coffee in a different one - or at a different time. So because of that I think you should leave both versions.) Ariel. (talk) 07:50, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry about the broken cites; I fixed them. I don't know what you mean by "remove stuff"; what did I remove? Ylee (talk) 10:28, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
